Un nouvel inventaire auto-administre destine a mesurer l'anxiete pathologique, le «Beck Anxiety Cheklist» (BAI) est decrit, evalue et compare au «Hamilton Rating Scale» (test avec lequel des correlations moderees sont trouvees)
A prospective study of 1,958 outpatients found that hopelessness, as measured by the Beck Hopelessness Scale, was significantly related to eventual suicide. scale cutoff score 9 or above identified 16 (94.2%) 17 patients who eventually committed suicide, thus replicating a previous with hospitalized patients. The high-risk group this 11 times more likely commit suicide than rest outpatients. Scale may be used sensitive indicator potential.
BackgroundSleep difficulties might be a contributory causal factor in the occurrence of mental health problems. If this is true, improving sleep should benefit psychological health. We aimed to determine whether treating insomnia leads reduction paranoia and hallucinations.MethodsWe did single-blind, randomised controlled trial (OASIS) at 26 UK universities. University students with were randomly assigned (1:1) simple randomisation receive digital cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for or...
A travers l'application du «Cognition Checklist» (CCL) dans une population psychiatrique (N=618), les auteurs ont trouve que pensees automatiques sont specifiques type de psychopathologie, point vue leur contenu et qu'elles permettent differencier l'anxiete la depression. L'hypothese «specificite cognitif» beck est donc verifiee
A 9-point clinical rating scale was used to assess the severity of hopelessness in 141 patients hospitalized with suicidal ideation. The were followed from 5 10 years, and (7.1%) eventually committed suicide. mean for committing suicide significantly higher than that not cutoff score 6 or above successfully predicted 9 (90.0%) those results supported previous findings which self-reported on Beck Hopelessness Scale reported predict both psychiatric outpatients inpatients.
A generalized climate of distrust in political institutions is not functional to healthy democracies. With the advent social media, recent scholarly efforts attempt better understand people's conspiracy theory beliefs inhibiting institutional trust. This study contributes this literature by considering direct antecedent effects uncertainty avoidance and moderating role active media use—SMU (i.e., interactional SMU, informational expressive SMU). The former theorized enable theories thrive,...
The ability of the Hamilton Psychiatric Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) and Anxiety (HARS) to discriminate major depressive disorder (MDD) from generalized anxiety (GAD) was studied in 120 psychiatric outpatients cross-validated with another 71 outpatients. Factor discriminant analyses were used develop revised depression scales that less positively correlated each other, showed greater internal consistency, differentiated MDD GAD better than original scales. recombined also displayed...
The authors examined the impact of life stress on course bipolar disorder over a 2-year period in group 61 outpatients. patients were followed prospectively with ongoing assessments stressful events, symptoms, levels maintenance medication, and compliance treatment regimens. As predicted, survival analyses indicated significant association between events relapse or recurrence disorder. These effects could not be explained by differences medication compliance. Further research is recommended...
• Personalizing psychological treatments involves the clinician's efforts to customize or modify treatment based on individual's needs enhance outcomes. Within umbrella term "personalization", application of precision methods clinical psychology has led data-driven therapies. Implementing data-informed therapies is a multifaceted endeavour that encompasses four main areas: Clinical and practical factors, technical aspects, statistical considerations, contextual frameworks.
We investigated the degree of content specificity evident in negative cognitions associated with anxiety and depression two large samples general psychiatric outpatients. Standardized measures affect cognition were analyzed a multiple regression design. As predicted by Beck's (1967, 1976, 1987) cognitive theory psychopathology, thoughts loss failure specifically depression, whereas harm danger uniquely predictive anxiety. In addition, hopelessness was specific to not Dysfunctional beliefs...
Unipolar depression is frequently a recurrent or chronic disorder. In studies on predicting its course, outcomes are typically linked to either psychiatric features stressful life events. order integrate the 2 approaches, 51 unipolar patients were assessed periodically over at least 1 year for symptoms, events, and stressors. It was hypothesized that adverse family history early age of onset impair role functioning coping capabilities, thereby contributing circumstances predict severity...
The development and psychometric characteristics of the Beck Self-Concept Test (BST) are described. BST is a 25-item self-report instrument that asks respondents to evaluate themselves in relation other people whom they know
Empirical tests of the diathesis-stress component A. T. Beck's (1976; Beck, J. Rush, B. F. Shaw, & G. Emery, 1979) cognitive theory depression have generally not yielded positive results. The resulting focus on conceptual and methodological concerns has diverted attention from more fundamental issue how validly vulnerability is measured. present investigation uses Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS; N. Weissman, 1979; Weissman 1978), most commonly used measure in this area, but adopts a...
This study describes the development of a methodology for studying dynamic aspects ongoing thought processes drawing on theories Kahneman and Tversky heuristics in thinking judgement. Specifically, potential role simulation heuristic (Kahneman Tversky, 1982) worry about future outcomes was examined. Women who were pregnant first time asked to simulate going into labor arriving at hospital (the desired outcome). The resulting protocols coded "goodness-of-simulation" terms heuristic....
